Last week, when we introduced Wotrlay, we mentioned in our blog post that we were writing an article about how to call a CVM server 'The Nostr Way.' This new article is now available. In it, we explore the current landscape of 'RPC-nostr' with a technical approach, comparing DVMs and CVMs, and demonstrating how to call CVM servers without SDKs or other dependencies, just events, relays, and signatures. We hope you enjoy reading it and that it encourages you to build on top of ContextVM. If you have any doubts or need clarification, please let us know in the comments

🎇 It has been an incredible year for ContextVM. 2025 marked the birth of this project, initially known as DVMCP, which we launched shortly after the MCP protocol was introduced.
This year has been a whirlwind of experimentation, creation, innovation, new possibilities, and loads of fun. Developers are discovering a transformative way to work with ContextVM, thanks to its unique features, ease of use, expressiveness, flexibility, standardization, and seamless integration with new paradigms like AI, all while remaining fully permissionless and open source 🚀
Product managers and those looking to integrate their services on Nostr to leverage its benefits are finding that ContextVM offers a powerful way to architect their products and solutions. By using relays as message buses, you can decouple the business logic of your application from Nostr specific conventions while still benefiting from Nostr's security and censorship resistance.
You can seamlessly integrate ContextVM with your existing stack without needing to rewrite everything to make it work over Nostr. This opens up possibilities for unified APIs, geographically distributed, composable, unstoppable apps, and more, the possibilities are endless and yet to be discovered.
2026 promises to be another amazing year. ContextVM is a community driven, fully open-source project that anyone can use, contribute to, or fork. Our vision is one where this technology liberates individuals, communities, businesses, and other entities from the control of gatekeepers and power structures. The future we envision is permissionless and full of collaboration between free individuals, positive-sum games, where the right to speak, associate, and the right to compute are equally important and transcendental.
We have a lot of work ahead, and that makes us really happy 🦾 Powerful features and specifications are already in development, promising even more possibilities, integrations, and capabilities. We hope that 2026 will see more people adopting Nostr, Bitcoin, CVM, and other freedom technologies, bringing and solving problems through this lens.
Without further ado, thank you to everyone who showed interest, contributed, integrated, and benefited from this project. We wish you all a great start to the new year 💛
Let's continue building!
